PETE JENSON: Cristiano Ronaldo will pick up Fifa's ‘The Best’ award at the London Palladium on Monday but there was more evidence of the changing of the guard at Real Madrid on Sunday when Marco Asensio won the game for Madrid setting up the first and scoring the second in a 3-0 win over Eibar.

Ronaldo had his best chance to score when he was put through by Isco in the second half but he was thwarted by Eibar keeper Marko Dmitrovic.

The Portuguese is still on just one league goal so far this season and Asensio is the team’s top scorer in the league with three underlining a somewhat underwhelming start to the domestic season for Zinedine Zidane’s team.

Routine win for Real as an own goal, Asensio and Marcelo give the hosts all three points.

21:33

90mins: Casilla wants this clean sheet, he makes a great save from Enrich, who, unbeknown to the keeper, was offside. Seconds later Casilla gets down well to tip Inui's low drive away for a corner that Real easily deal with.

21:30

88mins: Ronaldo has now had three big chances to score and taken none. Vasquez slips him on the right-hand side of the box but the superstar can only fire straight at Dmitrovic. The keeper has had a decent game, this could have been a lot more severe for the visitors.

21:28

86mins: Casemiro has a half-chance for a fourth when he fortunate deflection comes to him but he cannot react quick enough to slide in from six yards out off his own control.

21:23

Goal! Real Madrid 3-0 Eibar

82mins: Marcelo gets it. Benzema twice found Marcelo in a lovely, fluid Real move down the left. The first time with a little flick to set him free, the second a clever return pass that allowed his team-mate to turn and find the bottom corner from just inside the area. Great goal that confirms that this match is over.

21:22

79mins: Eibar make their final change as Enriche comes on for Escalante.

21:21

79mins Real again have a chance for a third as Marcelo dribbles his way into the box through a forest of Eibar defenders. It is a bit like schoolyard football as no one can get the ball of the Brazilian, after being pushed wide by Dmitrovic the full-back clips the ball to Ronaldo on the back post but the forward can only find the side-netting with his volley.

21:16

74mins: Benzema has an effort blocked by Oliveira after Ronaldo had cleverly flicked the ball into his team-mate's pass just inside the box. There's a foul from Real as the corner comes in and Eibar get clear.

21:14

72mins: This game is really petering out now Isco and Ceballos have gone off for Marcelo and Lucas Vasquez. For Eibar, Pena replaces Capa for Eibar.

Real in total control.

21:09

66mins: Modric is key again as he plays in Ronaldo for a chance that everyone at the Bernabeu thinks will end with the ball in the net. But like he has done with Isco twice, Dmitrovic stays big to make the save one-on-one.

21:07

65mins: Modric makes an absolute fool of Jordan with a cute nutmeg, the little master cannot find the target with his 25-yard effort though.

21:05

63mins: Real make a change with Benzema on for Asensio, with Eibar also swapping Charles out for Kiki Martinez. Ronaldo's role could change now, you sense.

21:02

61mins: With no Benzema, Ronaldo is basically playing as an orthodox striker in this game. He has been stationed right up on the Eibar backline whilst Asensio and Isco play off him. You sense as he ages it is a role the Portuguese will increasingly take.

20:57

55mins: Eibar want a penalty as Casemiro brings down Inui in the box but the referee deems the Real man to have won the ball. Probably a good call, Inui was hardly convincing.

20:53

52mins: Sometimes those Ronaldo free-kicks from 30 yards out look really stupid, usually when he fires deep into deep into the stand behind the goal. This was one of those efforts.

20:52

50mins: At the other end Isco gets his second one-on-one chance of the game and once again wastes it. Real sweep the length of the field and Isco gets in the clear but is denied by Dmitrovic, it's not even that good a save, just a poor effort. Bale would have taken that.

20:50

49mins: There's a hint of a chance for Eibar as they get a free-kick 35 yards out at a nice angle for a ball into the box, the set piece is cleared and then Capa hits a woeful effort harmlessly over the bar.

20:46

46mins: Real get back back underway for the second half.

20:42

We're about to see the re-start

The teams will be back out shortly at the Bernabeu. No changes for either side at the turnaround.

20:37

If you fancy a long shot...

...Eibar can be got at 200/1 to win this game with some bookmakers. Worth a quid?

20:35

Can Bale get him out of the side when he comes back?

42mins: Theo Hernandez is rapid. One minute he's being felled by Arbilla on the left then he is back up overlapping Isco, sadly his cross is straight into the hands of the keeper. A better ball and the Real lead could be even more ominous.

20:24

He loves playing this lot

36mins: Real are in complete control of this now and Eibar are basically all back behind the ball with Modric and Casemiro making the hosts tick. It does feel a question of how many now and you can be sure Ronaldo will want to get in on the action.

20:18

31mins: Ronaldo gets a sniff of goal when Luka Modric clips a ball over the Eibar backline but his team-mate cannot meet it. The offside flag goes up as Ronaldo acknowledges the pass from his team-mate.

Seconds later Casemiro has Dmitrovic diving at full length to stop a fierce effort from 30 yards. The keeper gets nowhere near it but the ball flashes over, just.

20:13

Goal! Real Madrid 2-0 Eibar

28mins: Asensio doubles the lead! Isco gets to the byline and pulls the ball back into the feet of the young striker who beats Dmitrovic with a wonderful, first-time effort on the half volley. That took fantastic technique to sweep home.

20:12

20:10

23mins: Eibar get a free-kick on the left-hand side as Isco trips Inui. Casemiro and Charles are both booked for their part in some handbags in the aftermath.

From the free-kick Jordan forces Casilla to make an unorthodox save with his feet as the ball curled towards the near post. That was dangerous for Real.

20:03

Goal! Real Madrid 1-0 Eibar

18mins: It's an own goal. Real get back-to-back corners and although nothing comes of the set pieces themselves the second is only half-cleared. Asensio whips the ball into the centre looking for Ramos. He doesn't meet it but unfortunately Eibar defender Paulo Oliviera does, deflecting it past his own keeper.

20:02

17mins: Isco just brought down a ball steepling out of the air with the outside of his foot whilst flanked by two Eibar defenders, it was a thing of true beauty.

20:00

Zinedine Zidan has made a number of changes for this game

Marco Asensio has come in place of Karim Benzema to take on minnows Eibar.

Marco Asensio

19:56

10mins: Eibar are not showing any fear at the Bernabeu so far, they maraud forward again down the left and swing in a cross. Charles header does not trouble Casilla as sails harmlessly high and wide.

19:52

5mins: Joan Jordan gets a decent look at the Real goal after a cross from the left is only half cleared. The midfielder has time to line up a volley from the edge of the box but can only find the clutches of Kiki Casilla with the shot.

19:47

2mins: Huge chance for Isco and it came so easily. Vasquez just works the ball across goal and Isco has acres of space but fires straight at Eibar keeper Marko Dmitrovic. Goals have been a problem for Real so far this season.

19:44

1min: We're under way in Madrid, Eibar kick us off.

19:42

The teams are out at the Bernabeu

Kick off is moments away...

19:40

Will tonight's game change that stat?
